Students who are interested in history or geography or travel, will love this book.  It includes the seven wonders of the ancient world as the seven wonders of the newer world.  The first seven are all located in the Mediterranean Sea area and the structures of the newer list include countries such as India, China and Brazil.  The history behind the structures is amazing.  Plus it’s interesting to see how these ancient structures have influenced today’s building and architecture.  Activities to make the structures are also included.  I paired this book up with a novel by Peter Lerangis titledThe Colossus Rises and the series is Seven Wonders.  It is an adventure based on the Colossus of Rhodes.  Each of the seven books in the series will be based on one of the seven wonders of the world.  It is a terrific way to teach history as well as read a brilliant story.
